I knew the victim and the accused; they used have a salon and a shop behind psar teuk thlaa near the phum 100 pteah behind Toyota dealership when my family lived there. My partner used get her hair done by the victim and we went to their shop to change the 20l water bottles every other day for years, she's friends with my wife's family. Very sad ending

I wonder what their story will be tomorrow. Maybe an arrest at the airport terminal and he will be 72 years old by then.
